This is kinda a different coin still housed in a 1976 Canadian PL Set.Note the Meteorite falling from the northern lights.

That is a fun one...it's very stone-like. I cannot tell by the pic, does it look like foreign object struck into the coin?

Close examination it sure looks like metal slag.One problem in taking real close ups of these sets is the blur from the plastic pouch.
